The song titles on the New Age best-seller ENCHANTED SPIRITS--"Aethera Et Terra", "Agnus Dei", and "Sancta Maria", for example--hint at the mystical, mediaeval atmospheres Magna Canta creates in their music. Brooding, resonant chants and images of dungeons and cathedrals with high vaulted ceilings underlie the music. But the primary musical influence is electronic dance, with synthesizer and programmed drumbeats lending a chugging disco feel to much of the album.

The combination is unusual and intriguing. At times the mix is hypnotic, as on the down-tempo "Recordare", at others it recalls upbeat '80s New Wave, as on "Gregoria". For listeners who have longed to hear Gregorian music's gothic overtones mixed with the sprightly beats of contemporary techno, ENCHANTED SPIRITS should fit the bill nicely
